An ostensibly complete #Guix System #MNTReform rk3588 configuration:

codeberg.org/vagrantc/mnt-refo

caveats:

It could use workarounds from source.mnt.re/reform/reform-to in particular to get ethernet working more reliably.

It does build a full working u-boot image, but does not actually install it directly, that requires a manual step:

sudo dd if=u-boot-rockchip.bin of=/dev/sdX seek=64

I took a leap of faith and installed it directly to eMMC and was lucky enough to not regret it. :)

Made a #MNTReform kernel for #Guix ... and used my MNT Reform2 rk3588 to build the kernel and successfully booted to #Debian !

With 32GB of ram, 8 moderately fast arm64 cores and an NVMe disk, it seems quite viable to run Guix.

Probably still missing some functionality, but the screen, mouse, keyboard, ethernet all work, at least!

Thanks @josch for organizing those patches so nicely for the reform-debian-packages repository!

So, let's say I would want a tablet, with the goal of using it with a touchscreen optimized Linux and not with Android.
What would my best options be?
The Pinetab2 certainly has too weak hardware.
I wish there was something like a tablet using the #mntreform computemodules.

Hackster.io · MNT Research Unveils the Slimmer, More Powerful, But Just as Open MNT Reform Next LaptopBy Gareth Halfacree

The standalone #MNTReform keyboard is gorgeous (and satisfyingly dense). I much prefer the clicky white switches over the tactile browns (maybe not in a laptop though).

It's a nice aesthetic match for the #MiSTerFPGA I just started experimenting with. Many thanks to @mntmn and the MNT team for accommodating my request for #Colemak homing keys.

The #Keyboardio Model 100 with Linear A keycaps is in the back. It's also lovely, but not convenient as a roaming keyboard.
